Storage

Out of all the things anyone would want to see in Chicago, why storage? Okay, this is my storage at my old apartment building that I get in exchange for mowing the lawn.

Door.
Lawnmower next to door. Note padlock. This used to be a coal chute.
Inside.
Lawn.
I hope you are satisfied.
This is the real reason for going. My Jordanian mint.
Once a week when I mow the lawn I also grab seven sprigs of mint and take them back to my new apartment. They go in a vase by the window for my tea. When they are gone, it’s time to mow again. The small leaf blades aren’t grass, they’re fresh garlic.

I always touch the string part…and wear sneakers. You can see the string as soon as you open the door. I suppose I could fix it, but it isn’t mine and there’s a lot of my own stuff I’d rather fix first. I’ve already replaced all the old two prong outlets in my new place with three prong outlets, mostly so I could plug in my computers.
